Johny Vasquez(Mommasboy Tattoo)is hands down the best tattoo artist I've found in Austin. Johny made the entire process stress-free and answered all my questions, walked me through what to expect, and created a super sick custom design of a snake tattoo on the spot exactly how I envisioned. His attention to detail in black and grey work is exceptional- every line is precise and the shading is flawless. He took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and delivered beyond my expectations. My snake tattoo gets complimented almost anywhere I go now. The black cat tattoo he did for me is also a big hit every time I go out! If you're looking for a tattoo artist in Austin, Johny is my go-to.
Jorge was outstanding! This is my 4th one from him at Atomic. My wife got one too. We love his work! The staff at Atomic was awesome too.
One of my helix piercings fell out but I was able to make a quick pit stop here near their closing time and were happy to help me out! It was a little closed at the time so it hurt, but the red/black haired lady was super nice and made the experience a lot better.
